Andalusia: Where Europe Meets North Africa – A Glimpse into Moorish History! 🇪🇸🕌

#summervacay Andalusia, as the southernmost region of continental Europe, directly faces North Africa across the sea. It was precisely from here that the Arab Moors stepped onto European soil, initiating an occupation that lasted for nearly 800 years. This rich history is still incredibly visible today; as you wander through the streets and alleys of Andalusia, you'll constantly encounter architecture steeped in Moorish style and houses with characteristic white walls. My first impression of Granada was truly striking – it felt as if I had been transported to North Africa! The city beautifully preserves the legacy of this fascinating historical period. From the breathtaking Alhambra Palace to the charming Miradores (viewpoints) that offer sweeping vistas of this ancient city and its surrounding landscapes, Granada is a living testament to a vibrant past. Every corner tells a story, making it a perfect place for slow travel and creating lasting memories. #spain #andalusia #granada #alhambra #moorishcastle #moorisharchitecture
